[00:00.41]GilScott-Heron - The Vulture
[00:36.34]Standing in the ruins
[00:39.91]Or of another black man's life
[00:50.14]Or flying through the valley
[00:53.88]They're separating day and night
[01:03.06]I am death cried the vulture
[01:07.73]Is for the people of the light
[01:17.95]Charon brought his raft
[01:21.50]Came from the sea that sails on souls
[01:31.71]Saw the scavenger departing
[01:35.40]Or taking warm hearts to the cold
[01:43.91]He knew the ghetto was the haven
[01:49.26]For the meanest creature ever known
[01:59.58]In a wilderness of heartbreak
[02:03.30]Yes and a desert of despair
[02:13.42]Evil's clarion of justice
[02:16.85]Or shrieks a cry of naked terror
[02:25.28]He's taking babies from their mommas
[02:30.66]And leaving grief beyond compare
[03:21.73]See the vulture coming
[03:25.08]He's flying circles in your mind
[03:35.46]There is no escaping
[03:38.82]For he will follow close behind
[03:47.98]Only promised me a battle
[03:52.60]Yet battle for your soul and mine
[03:58.12]Your soul and mine
[04:01.13]He taking babies from their momas
[04:06.42]And he's leaving
[04:12.87]Leaving
[04:16.29]Leaving
[04:19.80]Leaving
[04:23.38]Leaving
